According to media reports, Myanmar's army has started operations against the Rohingyas in Rakhine State. Rohingya leaders say army presence and military installations in Rakhine have been increased. In the past few days, hundreds of Rohingya are reported to be re-entering Bangladesh.
Rohingya leaders say at least 500 Rohingya have begun their arduous journey to Bangladesh. Many say that they are being persecuted again by the Myanmar army.
In October 2016 last year, the Myanmar army launched a harsh campaign against the Rohingya in Rakhine. Thousands of Rohingyas entered Bangladesh to escape the persecution of the army.
The UN commented that the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingyas is being attempted through the bloody operation of the army in Myanmar. A Rohingya named Abu Tayyub, who escaped from Rakhine, told the media that he escaped with 7 members of his family. The army is demolishing their homes in Rakhine, arresting youths.
He reached Bangladesh by crossing the Naf river on the border of the two countries. Tayyub also said, "I quickly left Rakhine with my family members."
According to a statistic of Bangladesh, about 400,000 Rohingyas have taken shelter in various refugee shelters and temporary settlements in the tourist district of Cox's Bazar. Myanmar's Rakhine border with Cox's Bazar.
According to media reports, this number continued to increase after the start of military operations in Myanmar's Rakhine in October last year. At least 70 thousand Rohingya entered Bangladesh at that time. Rohingya leaders claim that the Myanmar army is raping, killing and setting fire to the homes of Rohingyas in Rakhine.
However, in such a situation, the Bangladesh Border Guard Force (BGB) has increased border patrolling on the news of increasing gathering of Myanmar Army on the other side of the Naf River.
On the other hand, UN Special Envoy Yanghee Lee expressed concern last week about the arrival of several battalions of the army on the pretext of maintaining security in Rakhine.
